Attach the antenna to the roof of the vehicle,
positioned centrally across the vehicles width.

For non metal roofs use the supplied metal plate
by firstly cleaning the area and ensuring it is dry,
then remove the plastic covers from the self
adhesive strips on the metal plate and stick to the
vehicle roof. The antenna can be attached to this
plate and be held safely on the roof.

Run the cable into vehicle cab, if going through a window or door please make sure that there
is enough of a gap in the rubber to allow this, otherwise the cable could be damaged and with
no signal from the antenna the BlackBox will not function correctly.
